Unless you really need the money, its probably better to HODL to any decent coin at this point.
I would put Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum in this category.
There is probably much more of a chance at an upside than a large loss on any decent project at this point.
Im always holding decent coins that i know has a potential to rise by the end of the month im stocking around 5 different coins where i always make a good profit into it im just always waiting for the price to dump and then stocked they're the reason why im doing this ofcourse for my future porpuses too. |

Shifting gears a little bit: question for everyone here...
IF there's a bitcoin blockchain split and the overall value of both sides added together DROPS (as some people say, i.e. before split BTC = $1,000 but after split with say 80/20 hashrate division, the value is not $800/$200 but rather something like $600/$100, or less, due to loss of network effect)... do you guys think the "lost value" will just disappear i.e. go back to "dollars" as leaving "crypto" entirely, OR would it be reflected in increased "dollar value" of ALTS (even as, probably, the relevant alt-value as priced "in bitcoin" will almost certainly decrease...?)
TL;DR above :: if there's a BTC chain split, will those of us with appropriately balanced portfolios of alt-coins (XMR/ETH/MAID/DASH/etc) see the dollar-valuation of that portfolio stay largely the same, or will we need to be ready to DO something other than just ride-out the storm until bitcoin settles down again, post-split...?
Whadda Y'all Think... who's planning for what scenarios here?
This is an interesting question. I think I agree (with keyjockey) who said it will bring down all crypto. Bitcoin and hence crypto in general will struggle. rather than cash out in fiat, I'd prefer physical silver and gold. Its giving me some food for thought on how to rebalance portfolio. How likely is a bitcoin fork anyway ? |

 I wish I had some Dash I'am a little dash trash supporter who cries from time to time and sh.its on the superior and fair distribution cryptocurrency Monero from time to time to boost my ego when investors lose interest in my scam trash coin. Come on, stop crying afbitcoins - there are other btc/ltc copy-pasted and still broken, instamined, and nobody-using, "private" coins like your dash trash. There is a chance to find another one on pump by hedjing btc whales afraid of btc instant death. |

I am glad that I was able to sell a few coins for 0.02+ btc.
I think it is a good price to sell, I am not recommending others to sell but I just have been here for so long term now that I finallu decided cash around 5 % of my stash. Still 95 % of Moneros left and waiting to the shuttle to the Moon.
I hope the new owner appreciates those coins and hold them for long haul and see as nice ROI as I saw.

BU would be lying.
I take no sides here, but they would claim it is a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain. They would not be lying in saying that. I don't want Core vs BU debate here, it is blissfully free of it, I was just answering a question here on the effect on us. What I think personally is that a fork is not 'woo, free extra coins' it is a total shitstorm we could really do without. BU would be a Bitcoin fork just like Litecoin is. Litecoin doesn't pretend to be Bitcoin either does it? Claiming BU is Bitcoin is a clear and obvious lie. |

There is a chance to find another one on pump by hedjing btc whales afraid of btc instant death. Yes yes yes, I already know the opinion that Dash is an instamine a scam and trash, I find that debate very boring although it never seems to get tired to you guys. I'm more interested in the actual interesting conversation that was happening before you all knee jerk your Dash opinions, which was about what to do in event of a bitcoin fork? |

XMR/USD been hovering around the same price for a couple of days. ($21-$22). Not sure what is going to happen next, but news of people getting arrested for bitcoin blockchain investigations definitely would help XMR price, and it did last time. Zcash also doesn't seem to be any upgrades soon.

I'm betting on Coinbase adding Monero in the next couple of weeks. |

If coinbase will add Monero support, what do you think the price will go in that pump?

...rather than cash out in fiat, I'd prefer physical silver and gold.
I thought of that too, and I do still hold some Au/Ag from 'way back in the day before I understood bitcoin. But realistically selling out crypto to fiat and then buying metal with the fiat, holding it while the crypto world does whatever, then after things settle down again selling the metal back to fiat and re-buying crypto would probably incur a pretty hard hit on all the percentages taken by your local coin shop or bullion dealer etc. More-so than even in crypto currency, I think buying precious metals should be a one-time, buy & hold (bury it in the back yard, or "oh no! boating accident") kind of thing. Selling out my crypto for stacking gold/silver would probably mean I'd never get back into the same amount of crypto again, or at least not until long after missing the boat on whenever the next big 10X gain is coming... |

I think that is not feasible at this time. Unless you factor in some dashcrash action. XMR liquidity is in a different universe from douche coin. ETH I think is certainly within reach though. |

I hope they can, since they are so regulated by US agencies
Kraken is also USA based exchange, and headquartered in the same city as coinbase (San Francisco). No reason COINBASE couldn't do it since KRAKEN has *already* added Monero. Both are regulated by the same entities. |

Don't know about coinbase, that's too much wishful thinking for me. But i'm pretty confident that breaking resistance here could bring a new xmr/btc ATH at around 0,028 - 0,03. Classic monero friday pump anyone?  |

If I remember right there were websites that was selling Gold for bitcoin and opposite. With google I found plenty of them. But their price is most likely not perfect. |
